Volkswagen Service and Repair in Berkeley, CA
Volkswagen drivers know there’s something special about their car. Whether it’s the superb handling of a Golf, the comfort of a Tiguan or the overall joy of driving a GTI, your VW delivers a unique, select driving experience. But to keep an edge on that performance, given San Francisco Bay Area’s driving traffic, regular maintenance and occasional repairs are a must.

We know these cars and look for any known hot spots that can cause trouble down the road.
Our repairs run the gamut, but common services are air filter and cabin filter replacement, battery replacement, transmission fluid service, brake pad replacement, front struts and rear struts or shocks. Other work which we perform is check engine light repair; often tied to sensors, modules or EVAP system components, ignition coil and air mass sensor replacement.
We also see pattern Volkswagen repair issues in our shop. Many Volkswagens with TSI engines build carbon deposits on the throttle control which needs to be addressed for the car to maintain performance. While doing this repair we also check the water pump for evidence of leakage and will advise replacement since there is a cost savings to do it while the intake manifold if off. Another area of concern is the thermostat housing which can leak causing the coolant low light to come on and possibly overheating the engine. This is an issue that needs immediate attention.
